The refractive index of silicon oxynitride (SiON), a widely used material for integrated optics devices, can be chosen in a wide range between 1.45-2.0. We describe how the consequent large design freedom can be exploited on the one hand for a “standard” polarization independent optical channel waveguide having a favorable tradeoff between efficient fiberchip coupling and small bend radii (compact devices) and on the other hand for special-purpose and hybrid components where the refractive index should be finely adjusted for obtaining the desired functionality. We illustrate the applicability of SiON by describing a few devices for optical filtering in a new architecture for wavelength multiplexing, modulation, polarization splitting and second-harmonic generation 相似文献

Silicon oxynitride (SiON) layer and SiO2 buffer layer were deposited on silicon wafers by PECVD technique using SiH4, N2O and N2. The refractive index of SiON films measured at a wavelength of 1552 nm using a prism coupler, could be continuously varied
from 1.4480 to 1.4508. Optical planar waveguides with a thickness of 6 μm and a refractive index contrast (Δn) of 0.36% have been obtained. In addition, etching experiments were performed using ICP dry etching equipment on thick SiON
films grown on Si substrates covered with a thick SiO2 buffer layer. In order to measure optical properties, a polarization maintaining single-mode fiber was used for the input
and a microscope objective for the output at 1.55 μ m. A low-loss and low propagation SiON-based waveguide was fabricated
with easily adjustable refractive index of core layer. 相似文献

We present an optimized design and detailed simulation of an all-silicon optical modulator based on a silicon waveguide phase shifter containing a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor. Based on a fully vectorial Maxwell mode solver, we analyze the modal characteristics of the silicon waveguide. We show that shrinking the waveguide size and reducing gate oxide thickness significantly enhances the phase modulation efficiency because of the optical field enhancement in the voltage induced charge layers of the MOS capacitor, which, in turn, induce refractive index modulation in silicon due to free carrier dispersion effects. We also analyze the device speed by transient semiconductor device modeling. As both optical absorption and modulation bandwidth increase with increasing doping concentration, we show that, with a nonuniform doping profile in the waveguide, balance between the device operation speed and optical loss can be realized. Our simulation suggests that a TE-polarized optical phase modulator with a bandwidth of 10 GHz and an on-chip optical loss less than 2 dB is achievable in silicon. 相似文献

PZT thin films are deposited on SiO2/Si substrate by metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) process, using SrTiO3 (STO) as buffer layer for textured growth. The STO layers deposited on SiO2/Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition process show (100)/(200) preferred orientation, whereas the STO buffer layer deposited on silica substrate using spin-coating technique show random orientation behavior. The use of STO as buffer layers enhanced the crystallization and the preferred orientations of the PZT films. The PZT on STO buffered SiO2/Si substrates thus obtained possess high refractive index, (n)PZT/STO = 2.1159, and are of good enough quality for optical waveguide applications. 相似文献

A novel method for forming a ceramic membrane was devised. Ultrafine particles of silicon nitride synthesized by thermally activated chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were deposited on an outer wall surface of a porous ceramic tube (substrate) by electrostatic force and sintered in an inert gas atmosphere. The ceramic-made electrode assembly using surface discharge was used for charging ultrafine particles at an elevated temperature. Special ceramic membranes with a three-dimensional network for use as a fiber filter were obtained by this method. The effective pore size was around 0.2-1.0 μm in diameter, and its porosity was extremely large. This structure has the advantage of allowing microfiltration with a very low pressure drop 相似文献

Polymer microring resonators were demonstrated for sensing biomolecules without using fluorescent labels. The microring devices, fabricated by a direct imprinting technique, possess high Q factors of /spl sim/20000. This feature provides high sensitivity and a low detection limit for biochemical sensing applications. With these properties, the devices were used to detect and quantify the biomolecules present either in a homogeneous solution that surrounds the microring waveguide (homogeneous sensing) or specifically bound on the waveguide surface (surface sensing). In the former sensing mechanism, the current devices can detect an effective index change of 10/sup -7/ refractive index units (RIU); in the latter, they can reach a detection limit of /spl sim/250 pg/mm/sup 2/ of biomolecular coverage on the microring surface. In addition, the experiments show that the devices can detect both small and large biomolecules. 相似文献

Preparation of macroporous gadolinia-doped ceria (CGO) films was attempted by r.f. magnetron sputtering. A polymethylmethacrylate
(PMMA) microsphere film was fabricated as a template on a Pt-coated silicon substrate by dripping a PMMA microsphere aqueous
dispersion onto the substrate. CGO was deposited onto the PMMA microspheres by sputtering; the PMMA microspheres were found
to shrink during the sputtering, and thus the CGO also coated the surface of PMMA microspheres beneath the top layer of the
film. Films (ca. 1.5 μm thick) consisting of three dimensional arrays of hollow CGO microspheres (ca. 700 nm in diameter)
with large porosity were obtained after annealing the CGO/PMMA microsphere composite film. 相似文献

A GaInAs-InP multiple quantum well (MQW)-based wavelength demultiplexer composed of an arrayed waveguide in which the refractive index varies across the array was fabricated. Since optical path length differences between waveguides in the array are achieved through refractive-index differences that are controlled by SiO/sub 2/ mask design in selective metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), straight waveguide gratings having reduced optical propagation losses can be achieved. Furthermore, by employing MQW waveguides, variations in the refractive index may be induced through an applied electric field, allowing the device to manipulate wavelengths dynamically. A straight arrayed waveguide device having a 1.4% difference in refractive index was fabricated using an asymmetric side mask via a single selective MOVPE growth. The achievement of a diffraction angle difference of 4.40/spl deg/ between wavelengths of 1520 and 1580 nm was confirmed experimentally. In addition, a preliminary wavelength demultiplexer with a wavelength separation of approximately 25 nm and a free spectral range (FSR) of approximately 100 nm was also fabricated. 相似文献

Functionally graded ferroelectric ceramics (FGM) have been fabricated for pyroelectric applications by an aqueous tape casting technology. The FGM produced in this study consisted of a porous Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) tape-cast ceramic, which was made by starch inclusions; sandwiched between two dense PZT layers by stacking and lamination. This paper investigates the effect of porosity on the microstructure and electrical properties of the PZT FGM samples produced. The microstructure of the porous and laminated sintered structures was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The grain size of the porous layer tended to decrease with increasing corn-starch content. The dielectric constant and pyroelectric coefficient of the FGM both showed decreasing behaviour with increasing porosity. 相似文献

Nanosized lead titanate doped with calcium and lanthanum (PCLT) powder obtained by the sol-gel method was homogeneously mixed with vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene [P(VDF-TrFE)] to form nanocomposites. Several pyroelectric sensors were prepared on porous silicon dioxide, on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film and on bulk silicon substrates, respectively. The nanocomposite PCLT/P(VDF-TrFE) sensing film was deposited by spin-coating and Ni-Cr film was deposited as the top electrode and absorption layer. Experimental results showed that the substrate of the pyroelectric sensor could significantly affect the specific detectivity. The porous silicon dioxide and PET plastic film substrates could effectively decrease the thermal conductivity and the thermal fluctuation noise of the pyroelectric element, increase the voltage responsivity and the specific detectivity. The results indicated that the specific detectivity of PCLT/P(VDF-TrFE) pyroelectric sensors based on porous silicon dioxide and PET plastic film substrates reached 4.2E6 and 3.4E7 cmHz 1/2 W m 1 respectively, which is about 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the sensors formed under the same condition on the bulk silicon substrate. 相似文献

Single-mode (SM) ultrashort optical interconnections between the fibers and waveguides using self-forming polymeric waveguides with low optical losses at 1300 and 1550 nm were demonstrated. The localized refractive index in the SM regime is estimated by measuring the surface topography induced by monomer diffusion during the waveguide formation. A loss less than$-1$ dB can be obtained from self-aligning SM-to-multimode (MM) fibers and SM-to-SM fibers interconnections, respectively. A self-formed waveguide-to-fiber interconnection is fabricated and measured with loss less than 0.2 dB at 1550 nm. The polymer waveguide relaxes the positioning requirements for single-mode chip-to-chip optical interconnections, showing great potential to improve the short-term yield and long-term reliability. 相似文献

与传统洛伦兹线形相比,具有不对称线形的Fano共振光谱有更高的光谱分辨率,尤其适合传感应用。通过在硅基总线波导与跑道微环谐振腔耦合区域引入两个空气孔使得连续光谱产生突变相移,并与跑道微环谐振腔耦合形成Fano共振,且在较宽谱段范围内的每个共振峰都表现为非对称线形。通过仿真优化耦合间距以及空气孔与耦合区域中心的偏移量,获得最大光谱分辨率为312.05 dB/nm,消光比为53.09 dB的硅基Fano共振器件。在模仿被液体的折射率变化范围为1.33~1.332的条件下,仿真得到折射率传感灵敏度为125 nm/RIU。仿真结果表明本论文提出的器件结构简单,尺寸紧凑且制造误差小,为硅光子器件应用到高灵度敏度的集成生化传感提供新思路。 相似文献

Distributed-feedback (DFB)-buried heterostructure lasers incorporating a substrate grating require epitaxy of waveguide layers over the corrugated grating surfaces. Unlike epitaxy on planar (100) substrate, the corrugated substrate surface contains undesirable crystal facets which lead to an uncontrollable variation in local composition during epitaxy, and thereby results in strong localized misfit stresses. These localized misfit stresses further affect the subsequent growth of high quality layers which constitute the active device structures. To address the general issue of epitaxy on a corrugated surface, a thermodynamic analysis is performed for surface mass transport on a grating surface at normal growth temperature to show that grating wash-out is a thermodynamically favorable process. However, growth on a perfectly preserved grating is undesirable due to the composition shift on groove facets. A systematic study of substrate orientation dependent composition variation of quaternary layers indicates a composition shift generally toward In and P rich directions for orientations from (100)-(111). Conditions for a strain free waveguide layer growth are demonstrated. The commonly observed imperfections associated with a grating overgrowth are summarized, and their effects on device reliability are discussed 相似文献

Abstract The ability to form a high-quality buffer layer between the ferroelectric layer and the underlying silicon substrate is of critical importance. A suitable buffer layer must provide an acceptable electronic interface with the silicon substrate, and also must be able to prevent intermixing between the ferroelectric material and the underlying silicon, as well as prevent oxidation of the latter during device processing. This paper reports the properties of jet-vapor deposited silicon nitride and thermally grown silicon oxide as the buffer. Results from TEM, EDS, XRD and AFM micrographs will be presented, along with some electrical data taken from corresponding memory capacitor structures. 相似文献
